The Pacific Rim International Conferences on Artificial Intelligence (PRICAI) was initiated in Japan in 1990, to create an artificial intelligence (AI) conference which would promote collaborative exploitation of AI in the Pacific Rim nations.

The conference has grown, both in participation and scope, and now includes participation from all major Asia Pacific nations. The conference also attracts participation from all over the world, including Europe, Africa, India, and South America.

The 17th Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial Intelligence will be jointly hosted with the 29th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Yokohama, Japan on July 11-17, 2020. Click here to visit the dedicated website.

Yokohama is the second largest city in Japan, located 30 minutes from Tokyo by train. Since Japan opened its doors to the world in 1853, Yokohama has been the key entry point for international trade and communications, bringing global perspectives, new ideas and multiculturalism.

The center is located in the waterfront Minato Mirai. Minato Mirai is a major center for business, shopping, and tourism, attracting visitors and businesspeople throughout the Greater Tokyo Area.
